It documents the life, thoughts and attainments of men and women in every field of endeavour: musicians, physicians, businessmen, artists, politicians and more. Only a few are celebrated, such as Chief Gatsha Buthelezi, who wrote the preface, and Bishop Alphaeus Zulu.. This is not a usual Who's Who. Apart from comprehensive biographical data and a full-page photograph of each personality, an in-depth profile provides insight into ethos, early struggles, achievements, aspirations and attitudes. Black South Africans is invaluable for everyone interested in the lives and achievements of members of a largely unknown people, and in the fabric of those who serve their fellowmen through deed and example.".
